Description
As noted by @desrosj during the 5.4.2 release, the contrast for the update notice on the About page in WordPress 5.3.x is very poor because the background is also white. It appears to also apply to 5.4.x, as the background is the same.
Props to @desrosj for the screenshots :)

Would it be an option to add a more visible border to the update notices on this screen?

Screen Shot 2020-06-12 at 09.40.20.png is achieved by adding the .notice .notice-alt
classes to .update-nag
. As an able user, it feels weird to have a yellow line with text next to it. It looks broken in my opinion. Something like the screenshot I just uploaded at least makes it clear that notice belongs.
As long as the update notice text and links do have sufficient contrast, I wouldn't say this is a big accessibility issues. The fact the notice container "shape" isn't that visible is more a design thing as notices on white backgrounds are expected to use the
notice-alt
CSS class.Not sure how the "upgrade nag" can differentiate the CSS classes depending on the screen, though.
